Fishers of men

As we go into this season of Lent, I want you to dig deep into a book of the Bible especially one of the Gospels. Here's why: The Gospel. The Gospel says " We're bad, God is Good and Holy, Jesus is better"

The Lenten reading for Today came from Matthew 4:12-25 but I want to focus on verses 17-20
17 From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.18 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. 19 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” 20 And they left their nets at once and followed him.   
Because Jesus  is better, he asks of us three things :

Repent of sin
Give up your rights
Make Disciples
